Chapter Eighteen: The Sword Transformation Incantation

  With the support of Xiao Ling Dan, Wang Ke's spiritual power in his Dantian increased rapidly. After seven consecutive days of cultivation, he felt that his foundation had basically stabilized.

  "The feeling of enhanced cultivation is great, now that I've entered the mid-stage of Nasal Qi, I can also cultivate the Sword Transformation Technique." Wang Ke stopped his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes, with two flashes of light passing under his eyelids before disappearing.

  He had been studying the sword manual for a period of time and had already grasped the general idea, having long admired the beautiful sword manual. Now that he could cultivate it himself, he felt somewhat impatient.

  He stretched out his right hand, and the secret book of Huajian jue appeared in a flash. He opened the book, and after a while, he closed it with both hands and put it away. Then he stood up and disappeared in a flash from the room.

  Half a time later, Wang Ke's figure appeared in the yard, at this time holding a wooden sword in his hand, the wooden sword was only one foot long, and it looked like a new one.

  With a wooden sword in hand, Wang Ke's face was filled with excitement as he stood in the courtyard. Suddenly, his eyes focused and he tossed the wooden sword upwards, whereupon spiritual energy began circulating within his body. His hands pointed at the wooden sword in rapid succession, shooting out beams of green light that pierced into the sword. The wooden sword, which had been tossed above his head, now hovered suspended in mid-air.

  As the green light merged into the wooden sword, a faint spiritual glow now surrounded it. After several breaths, Wang Keli suddenly sensed something and reached out with his hand, summoning the wooden sword to fly back into his grasp.

  At this time, the wooden sword's surface was faintly shining with a soft spiritual light, and it no longer looked ordinary as before.

  "Hehe, for now, let's temporarily use this wooden sword instead." Looking at the wooden sword in his hand, Wang Ke smiled slightly. This was the first sword he had obtained since embarking on his immortal path. Although it was only a wooden sword, Wang Ke's heart was filled with excitement at this moment.

  "Alright, I'll start practicing the sword technique from today." A determined glint flashed in Wang Ke's eyes as he mentally went over the method of practicing the Huajian Sword Technique. He grasped the wooden sword with his right hand and began to practice in the courtyard.

  Huajian Jue is one of the most basic sword techniques in Qingmu Sect, almost everyone in the sect has practiced it, but when different people use it, the power of Huajian Jue differs greatly.

  Cultivating sword techniques, flying swords are naturally indispensable. As long as the disciples of Qingmu Sect enter the mid-term of Qi absorption, they can obtain a ordinary cold iron sword from the sect. If you want to get a better flying sword, you can only rely on yourself.

  At this time, Wang Ke had just entered the Nascent Soul stage and didn't have time to retrieve his iron sword, so he temporarily used this wooden sword as a substitute. At this moment, in the courtyard, Wang Ke practiced according to the Sword Transformation Manual, moving his body and swinging the wooden sword, which emitted a faint blue light, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air.

  After practicing for a while, Wang Ke felt that the spiritual energy in his body was circulating faster and faster. The practice of this sword technique didn't seem to be difficult. Suddenly, Wang Ke's figure paused, his right hand grasping the wooden sword, he turned his head to stare at the giant stone in the center, his aura suddenly condensed, his right hand flashed with a blue light, spiritual energy surged into the wooden sword in his hand, and instantly the wooden sword shone brightly with a blue light.

  Then with a loud shout, he exerted his strength and flung the wooden sword out of his hand. A green light flashed, the flying sword exploded, and in an instant it crashed into the giant stone in the center. With a loud "boom", the central giant stone shook violently, leaving a deep sword mark on its surface. The wooden sword had already disappeared, with more than half of it inserted into the giant stone, and a small part shattered into wood chips scattered all around.

  "The power of Huajian Jue is indeed not weak, but using a wooden sword just won't do. I need to find time to retrieve the Cold Iron Flying Sword. Sigh, I guess I'll have to use the wooden sword for repairs for now." Wang Ke looked at the already shattered wooden sword and shook his head, sighing.

  The wooden sword is soft and cannot withstand the impact of spiritual power, it will shatter with just one blow. It's only suitable for casual practice, but if you're actually fighting someone, this wooden sword probably won't be of any use after a single exchange.

  Wang Ke decided to practice with a wooden sword first, and when the time came, he would go get a Cold Iron Flying Sword. For the next period of time, most of his time was spent cultivating his sword techniques.

  In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and outside the forbidden land, there is still no spiritual energy, only a dull and lifeless atmosphere. However, at this moment in the courtyard, the spiritual energy is surging, and all that can be seen is a figure darting back and forth, with a green light flashing in their hand.

  Then a burst of green light shot out, and in an instant it collided with the giant stone in the courtyard. With a loud "boom", the giant stone shook violently, leaving behind a black sword mark on its surface. The wooden sword had already been completely submerged.

  Not far away, Wang could retrieve his spiritual energy. With a smile on his face, he looked at the sword mark on the giant stone and nodded in satisfaction: "The power has finally improved so much, next is the Phantom Sword Light".

  For two months, Wang Ke has been taking Xiao Ling Dan to assist in his spiritual stone cultivation and spent most of his time practicing sword techniques. His dantian is almost full of spiritual energy, and his sword techniques have made rapid progress. Occasionally, he also studies the Jing Yuan Decision.

  These days, Jingyuan has also made some progress in his cultivation. He has been studying a secret technique that allows him to further condense and compress the spiritual energy within his body. The method of cultivating this technique is now almost clear to Wang Ke, who plans to cultivate Huajian Quan to a certain level before moving on to Jingyuan Jue.

  At some unknown time, Wang Ke took out a wooden sword from his hand again. With a movement of his foot, he flew onto the large stone in the center of the courtyard and sat cross-legged, throwing the wooden sword in his hand.

  Then with a flick of his right hand, a burst of green light shot out, enveloping the wooden sword in front of him and suspending it in mid-air.

  Looking at the wooden sword in front of him, Wang Ke took a deep breath, his eyes filled with solemnity, and then a flash of light flashed by, his hands suddenly raised, and a series of seals shot out from his hands.

  At this time, Wang Ke's hands were like fluttering butterflies, pinching the sword fingers at an extremely fast speed. The sword fingers formed by the spiritual power appeared in front of him and then flashed into the wooden sword in front of his eyes.

  As the sword intent was infused, the spiritual energy around the wooden sword merged into the wooden sword, and its surface began to emit a faint cyan glow, becoming more agile.

  For a whole hour, Wang Ke had been casting sword incantations one after another, feeling the spiritual energy in his dantian rapidly depleting. In just this short period of time, he had already consumed nearly half of it, and his expression became even more solemn.

  The wooden sword in front of him was surrounded by a strong blue light, and at the same time, a "thumping" sound like a heartbeat came from the wooden sword, as if it had come to life.

  "It seems that the distance is gathering into a sword light getting closer and closer."

  Only to see King Ke's speed getting faster and faster, even his hand shape could no longer be seen, only seeing one sword move after another entering the wooden sword.

  King Ke's eyes suddenly widened, his hands formed a seal and stopped for a moment, then he pushed outwards with great force. A large amount of spiritual energy burst forth from King Ke's hands, wrapping the wooden sword in front of him in an instant.

  Looking at the cyan light ball with a diameter of over one foot in front of him, Wang Ke's eyes were filled with excitement and apprehension. A white light flashed from his right hand, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand. He quickly poured out several small spiritual pills from it and put them into his mouth.

  Just now, a burst of movement consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy in his body. Fortunately, he had the Small Spirit Pill, so he wasn't worried, and his spiritual energy quickly recovered. At this time, Wang Ke's gaze was focused on the blue light ball in front of him.

  Then, after a moment, Wang Ke's hands once again formed the sword gesture, pointing at the cyan light sphere in front of him. A stream of cyan spiritual energy shot out from his hand and collided with the light sphere in an instant. The sphere trembled and cracks began to appear on its surface. In just a moment, the cracks had spread all over the sphere.

  "Sword Light Illusion!" Wang Ke shouted loudly, the light ball in front of him suddenly burst open, and a strong blue light was emitted from the wooden sword. A shocking sword aura emanated from it, followed by a flash of light, and a sword glow instantly appeared beside it. The sword glow looked similar to the cyan wooden sword, but it seemed somewhat illusory.

  At the moment when the sword light condensed, Wang Ke's eyes became even more excited, and then the wooden sword flashed again, and another sword light condensed, suspended on the other side.

  Two sword lights condensed in succession, and the cyan light around the wooden sword had dimmed significantly. Wang Ke's eyes narrowed, and a sword mantra was thrown out, merging into the wooden sword. The wooden sword flashed with cyan light again, and another sword light condensed beside it. Just as this sword light condensed, the cyan light on the surface of the central wooden sword disappeared instantly. Then, a series of fine cracks appeared on the surface of the wooden sword, and in an instant, the wooden sword burst into pieces, turning directly into powder that scattered in the air.

  The wooden sword shattered, but the three sword lights in front of him still floated there, with a faint blue glow lingering on their surface, emitting a sword aura that seemed like real sharp swords.

  "Haha, I didn't expect to actually condense three sword lights, it's really worth this period of cultivation!" Wang Ke finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  He then flipped over and jumped off the giant stone, with a sword in his hand, three streams of sword light appeared in the air, swirling around him, flashing coldly. Wang Ke pointed with his right hand, and the three streams of sword light shot out suddenly, forming a line that shot towards the central giant stone, continuously crashing into it.

  "Bang, bang, bang!" Only to see three deep sword marks left on the giant stone, Wang Ke stretched out his hand and beckoned, three flashes of sword light flew out from the giant stone and instantly disappeared into his body.

  Condensing sword light also means that Wang Ke's sword mantra cultivation has reached the entry-level realm, still remembering the scene of envying the Qinglong Peak disciples condensing out sword light a few months ago.

  Wang Ke could now fight against people with just these three sword lights, even without the flying sword. The only thing was that the three sword lights had just condensed and their power wasn't great yet.

  In the Qingmu Sect, most inner disciples in the middle stage of Nascent Soul could only condense two sword lights. The more powerful ones could condense three. If one could condense five sword lights, they would already be considered extremely formidable.

  Although he had just entered the mid-term of Qi Refining, his Dantian spiritual power was deep and rich, and he could also condense three sword lights. His progress speed would make some talented disciples sigh in admiration.

  "If his skills improve a bit more, he should be able to condense even more sword light." Wang Ke thought for a moment, murmuring to himself with a smile on his face.

  In a short period of time, his cultivation had made significant progress. With the Small Spirit Pill, he believed that it wouldn't take long for him to reach the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. At that time, he would be able to condense even more sword lights.

  "Heh heh, the Sword Transformation Technique has been mastered, next is the Yuan Condensation Decision. The spiritual energy can still be condensed and refined, it's really interesting, I wonder what the effect will be." Thinking of that mysterious Yuan Condensation Decision, Wang Ke's heart became hot with excitement.

  Back in the room, Wang Ke sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and began to cultivate, recovering all the spiritual energy consumed within his body. After several hours, Wang Ke felt that he had already recovered to his peak state.
